Hey-Ho, to Mars We’ll Go! Win This Book

It’s a long way to Mars. Along the way, junior astronauts learn they’d have to dive through the hatch, sleep in a sleeping bag tethered to the wall, grow their own food, and maybe even ask “Are we there yet?” before touching down on the red planet. This book by Susan Lendroth mixes facts and fun, all sung to the tune of “The Farmer in the Dell.” And you could win a copy!

Many years ago in a far off state, I visiited Mars. the school entered the Marsville program,. We built a structure to use on the planet and designed a rover to run on the planet. It was a great adventure. I would love to visit again.

I am very fascinated with space! When my daughter was young, she wanted to be an astronaut and fly a space shuttle. She said she would take to space with her. Her career plans have changed over the years, but I would like to visit our sister planet Venus.
